15 Year old Harvard Extension Graduate
#1
I found this person on LinkedIn. She apparently went to AMU to get her Bachelor's and Master's in Intelligence Studies (an odd subject for someone so young and no military experience, but i digress). Then she did the Extension School and graduated at 15. She is now a PhD student. She was apparently also an adjunct.

A great example of someone using distance education to do great stuff.

EDIT: Correction, 16 yrs old.

Don't waste time by trying to save time. The only sure way to complete your degree is to knock out credits quickly and efficiently.

Don't let easiness bite you in the rear. Know your endgame (where you want to be) and plan backward from there. Your education is a means to an end.

Be honest professionally, socially and academically. There are people (especially little ones) who look up to you and they're going by your example.

Be proud. Whether you're an Engineer or Fast Food worker, there is honor and dignity in hard work.

Picking on people weaker than you only proves that you are a weak person.

I'm always happy to complete the free application waiver for those applying to WGU (I get a free gift from WGU for this).  Just PM me your first/last name and a valid email so I can complete their form.

I'm not sure how I would feel about having a homeland security instructor who is 16 and has no experience. In these courses, you're likely to come across students with years of experience in law enforcement, the military, government, etc.

I agree 100%.. But I guess they can argue theory, rather than application. (If it was an online course, no one would be the wiser)

Or maybe she's the world's youngest spy, like Spy Kids (2001) - IMDb

I found her dad on accident (his profile was linked to her page), https://www.linkedin.com/pub/eugene-de-silva/73/297/855

Maybe they ARE spies.. Cool

I think knowing only theory is fine for a lot of subjects, especially at the graduate level. However, homeland security is supposed to be applied. National security studies and security studies are more theory because they're basically international relations, but most of my security studies professors had military experience. The one who didn't have military experience had experience consulting government agencies. I don't know how deep they go into theory at a community college. I never took a homeland security course at one. It seems like she's just teaching an introductory course, so it can't hurt.

The father is starting up his own school and looks to have had a few other businesses in the past. Starting up random companies must be a thing with this family. Confusedmilelol:
